Delhi: India’s team is currently performing well in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and has made it to the semi -finals with 2 wins. However, there may be some changes in the team before their last group-stage match against New Zealand in Dubai, as some players have been injured.
Rohit injury to Hamstring
Team captain Rohit Sharma is afraid of hamstring injury, which may exclude him from the upcoming match. If this happens, then vice -captain Shubman Gill can handle the captaincy, so that this will be his first experience of captaincy in ODIs.
Injury against Pakistan
Rohit’s injury was caused during the match against Pakistan on 23 February. While holding a ball during Pakistan’s batting, he suffered an injury to the hamstring muscle. However, he came back to the field after a while, but he looked uncomfortable. According to the report of the Indian Express, Rohit was discussing with coach Gautam Gambhir and was lighting light jogging while avoiding batting in India’s training session on Wednesday.
If Rohit is not, Shubman will be captain
If Rohit does not play in this match, Shubman Gill may get a chance to captain it. 24 -year -old Shubman Gill is currently in great form, he scored a century against Bangladesh and 46 against Pakistan.
Captain’s experience
Gill has the experience of captaincy before, when he captained India’s T20I team against Zimbabwe last year. Now the question is, if Rohit does not play, then who will open with Gill? Rahul is a natural option, as he has opened up before. Rishabh Pant can also be another option, who has opened white ball in cricket before. Washington Sundar is also under consideration for this place.
